There are also neighborhood markets with small vendors who specialize in meat or produce, etc. <br /><br />What I&#39;ve noticed about those markets and the farmer&#39;s markets is how much more prepared food they sell. When I first started going to the farmer&#39;s market ( a long time ago), almost no one sold already cooked food. There was one woman who would sell Senagalese food that she had prepared at home and maybe a couple bakers. Now, at least half the market is fancy a delicious (and expensive!) breakfasts and snacks.<br /><br />Luckily, there are still a lot of farmers or it would be a whole diferent kind of desert!<br /><br />We also have a group of people called Arabbers (pronounced Ay-rabber with the emphasis on the first syllable), men with a horse drawn cart who go through low income neighborhoods selling produce.5dollarsadayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854308599077724372noreply@blogger.com
